The 9.3 has a million miles of freebore to accommodate the old RN bullets that were used and 250 Accubonds were loaded to fit and funtion in the magazine. Anyhow, I decided to try Barsness load with RL15 and 250 Accubonds. I loaded up 58, 59, 60 and 61. I didn't get to the 61 grain charge, and 58 and 59 were roughly around 1.25". Here is 60... I tossed shot number 4 and decided to see if I could redeem myself..

No idea on speeds yet, but I'll check them eventually. I am guessing its around 2600 FPS or so though going off of others data. Last edited by beretzs; 07/07/20. Semper Fi

These are two great alternatives to photobucket that didn't screw up what were once treasure trove threads on forums everywhere, and neither of which has any complications with adblockers that I'm aware of. postimages.org imgur.com 9.3x62 is a tempting cartridge.
